I hope everyone who celebrated the 4th of July had a safe, fun day! We went to a bbq at some friends and I left before the real fireworks started going off. They started with the firecrackers and bottle rockets and I knew that was my signal to get moving. I will say it is my parents fault I don't enjoy that sort of thing, as girls, we were not allowed to play with stuff like that...we had sparklers. Jim is kind of in the same boat, because his dad was the Fire Marshall of his town, they didn't play with fireworks either! lol
Guess what today is... it's the MFT Lady's Birthday... Happy Birthday KIM!! It is also MFT's 3rd birthday and Kim is celebrating in other ways for us lucky stampers & MFT fans. Check out this post for all her surprises.
So for today I will get a double post going and here is the first...and it's in honor of KIM!! Birthday Flopsey...this is the card I made while I was doing my grass tutorial in the MFT forum.
So if you're looking at it wondering why it looks familiar...that's why! lol I colored Flopsey with my prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol. I used some Marvy liquid applique for the dots on the cake. Wouldn't this be a cool look for a wedding cake too!
Flopsey is colored on MFT's Perfect Paper Panels and the dp is from American Crafts. They make some very fun contemporary paper lines, very clean... I love that! The scallop is from my corner rounder punch.
Well I better get a move on if I wanna post again later. The family looks hungry and so am I!
What a pretty card!!
